By Ronan Gargan, Northern Sound

A Co Monaghan businesswoman has warned that SMEs are being hammered by rising costs, particularly energy prices.

Aprilanna Barker of Dinkins Bakery said the cost of electricity and heating is skyrocketing, while businesses are also facing higher fuel costs for deliveries.

She believes some kind of a support scheme is needed at this point.

Ronan Gargan was joined by a number of guests over the hour to discuss in detail live from Carrickmacross.
